Romeo & Juliet (1968) on a BD has been very, very high on my Paramount Wish-List for quite some time. One could only further wish that this Oscar winner for Cinematography could see a restoration;
as the collective attributes of this film as a whole could generate a more than lengthy list.
The bitch of it is that scores of these films so far withheld from Blu-ray release in the U.S. have perfectly decent HD masters, ROMEO AND JULIET among them. France, in fact, has released this, as well as probably other countries:

A bunch of other titles we in the U.S. have not gotten from Paramount are also out in Europe.

and more.
Apparently Paramount is finding overseas licensing more lucrative than getting these out here in the U.S. *^%&!
